Impianti singoli post-estrattivi immediati verso dilazionati a carico immediato in mascellari superiori anteriori: risultati di uno studio clinico controllato randomizzato pragmatico multicentrico ad un anno dal carico.
No full textOBIETTIVO: Confrontare l’efficacia di impianti singoli post-estrattivi immediati con impianti dilazionati a 4 mesi posizionati in alveoli preservati. Gli impianti con un torque di inserimento di almeno 35 Ncm sono stati sottoposti a carico immediato non occlusale.
MATERIALI E METODI: Immediatamente dopo l’estrazione dentale, e in presenza di meno di 4 mm di perdita di osso verticale buccale in relazione alla parete palatale, 106 pazienti che necessitavano di un impianto singolo post-estrattivo immediato nel mascellare superiore dal secondo al secondo premolare, sono stati randomizzati al gruppo degli impianti immediati (gruppo impianti immediati; 54 pazienti) o al gruppo sottoposto alla preservazione dell’alveolo mediante osso bovino anorganico coperto da barriera di collagene riassorbibile (gruppo impianti dilazionati; 52 pazienti), secondo uno studio a gruppi paralleli presso tre centri. Il protocollo prevedeva di riempire lo spazio osso-impianto con osso di bovino anorganico, tuttavia questo non è stato fatto per 17 dei pazienti (ovvero il 40% di coloro che avrebbero dovuto ricevere l’innesto). 4 mesi dopo la procedura di preservazione dell’alveolo, sono stati posizionati gli impianti dilazionati. Gli impianti con un torque di inserimento di almeno 35 Ncm sono stati caricati immediatamente con corone provvisorie singole non in occlusione, sostituite dopo 4 mesi con corone definitive. I pazienti sono stati seguiti per 1 anno dopo il carico. I parametri di valutazione presi in considerazione sono stati: fallimenti implantari, complicazioni, valutazione estetica realizzata mediante PES (pink esthetic score, punteggio di valutazione dell’estetica della gengiva), livelli ossei marginali peri-implantari e soddisfazione del paziente, registrati da valutatori in cieco.
RISULTATI: 19 impianti (35%) non sono stati caricati immediatamente nel gruppo degli impianti immediati verso 39 (75%) nel gruppo a posizionamento dilazionato perché non era stato possibile raggiungere un torque superiore a 35 Ncm. Sei pazienti hanno lasciato lo studio dopo 4 mesi dal carico nel gruppo degli impianti dilazionati verso nessuno nel gruppo degli impianti immediati. Ci sono stati 2 fallimenti implantari nel gruppo degli impianti immediati (3,7%) verso nessuno nel gruppo dilazionato, ma la differenza non è statisticamente significativa (differenza delle proporzioni = 0,04; 95% IC da -0,03 a 0,11; P = 0,187). Si sono verificate 8 complicazioni minori nel gruppo degli impianti immediati e una nel gruppo degli impianti dilazionati e la differenza è statisticamente significativa (differenza delle proporzioni = 0,13; IC 95% da -0,03 a 0,23; P= 0,028). Alla consegna delle corone definitive, 4 mesi dopo il carico, la media del punteggio relativo all’estetica era di 12,8 e 12,6, rispettivamente nel gruppo degli impianti immediati e dilazionati. A 1 anno dal carico, la media del punteggio relativo all’estetica era di 13,0 e 12,8, rispettivamente per il gruppo degli impianti immediati e dilazionati. Le differenze a 4 mesi e a 1 anno non erano statisticamente significative, rispettivamente P = 0,500 e P = 0,615. I livelli ossei marginali all’inserimento degli impianti (dopo l’innesto osseo) erano di 0,10 mm per gli impianti immediati e 0,02 mm per gli impianti dilazionati, ma ciò non comporta una differenza staticamente significativa (differenza media = 0,08; IC 95%: da 0,04 a 0,12; P < 0,001). Un anno dopo il carico, i pazienti del gruppo degli impianti immediati hanno perso in media 0,23 mm verso 0,29 mm per quelli del gruppo degli impianti dilazionati, per una differenza statisticamente significativa (differenza media = -0,06; IC 95%: da -0,11 a -0,01; P = 0,036). I pazienti di entrambi i gruppi si sono dimostrati soddisfatti allo stesso modo,sia a 4 mesi che a 1anno dal carico.
CONCLUSIONI: Si riscontra un maggior numero di complicazioni per gli impianti post-estrattivi immediati rispetto a quelli dilazionati. Sembra che sia più difficile ottenere un torque di inserimento superiore a 35 Ncm negli alveoli preservati con osso bovino anorganico dopo 4 mesi di guarigione rispetto ai siti post-estrattivi. Il risultato estetico è simile per entrambi i gruppi
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
